I am getting ready to sell my PC and monitor and buy a Macbook Pro possibly.

I do a lot of writing now believe it or not and I quite like the idea of doing so on an Apple. I do have some questions.

1. 13" Air vs MBP - which to buy? I quite like the lightweight appeal of the Air but when specced up it is not cheaper than a 13" MBP. All it is going to be used for is web browsing and work, Wordpress, and writing/typing. Nothing heavy. I am actually thinking of getting a Mac Mini also to use as a server/for my DVI monitor (Asus 27").

2. If I buy the latest 13" MBP with Retina, can I upgrade to 16GB of ram myself or do I HAVE TO opt for the £240 upgrade on the Apple Store?

3. Same question above for the 13" Air.

4. I noticed the keyboard is more compact than I am used to, the left side was fine but the right side, pressing O I was pressing -, and pressing backspace I was pressing =. Will I just get used to this or is it a problem?

Thank You.
 
Thank you guys. I think I am going to go with an MBA, and try and get a fully specced one. Though apparently a new one is out soon 12" so should I wait for that?
